Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak ( arstechnica.com )

A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that "whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist's assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to 24...

No, it was spelled right. Just a grammatical error.

Uh, there was a GameBoy Micro, but that's the closest that comes to mind.

I read all the time that TotK has terrible performance, but i never noticed in all the time I played it. I guess growing up playing on old pc hardware made me tolerate shitty framerates.

The Switch already is better in some ways. OG PS4, maybe?

"Lateral thinking with withered technology." Nintendo gave up on competing technologically with its competitors after the GameCube, and it proved to be a good decision.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens ( www.pbs.org )

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

The term exists in English, too, with the exact same meaning - "saber rattling".

They have a lot of them, odds are at least some of them still work.

I wondered who was first, too, and looked it up before. The date seems to be in dispute, but English is apparently the original language to coin the term.

I don't post anywhere but here and I don't even post here on weekends, so yeah.

And now there's a Wookieepedia entry for "duck".

Yup. Chewie died in the novels, but Han did in the movies. Go figure.

Since the franchise is not afraid to sometimes have other languages spoken instead of absolutely everyone speaking English, it's reasonable to assume that the Basic they're speaking does indeed sound exactly as we hear it, accents and all.

I never considered the X and Y thing! Yirt looks kind of like a V, but Vev looks like a Y, so the shape at least exists, but Xesh looks like a triangle, so no go there!

They made the whole novel timeline non-canon, so we won't be seeing it unless they choose to pick characters from it like Pellaeon and Thrawn.

There was a Star Wars novel where the author liked using the phrase "Soandso looked at Sosandso like he'd turned into a huge spider."

it is the US government using US citizen’s tax dollars to facilitate this genocide. That makes all US citizens complicit.

The hell it does. I don't get a say in where my tax dollars I'm legally required to pay go. If someone steals your money, uses it to buy a gun, and murders someone with it, are you complicit?

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You didn't answer my question at all. The hypothetical gun isn't mine.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

The question is whether or not a person is complicit in murder/genocide when it's committed with funds involuntarily extracted from said person.

Heck, I didn't even need "2024", just "best printer" worked.

I, for one, feel owned and they should keep doing it. Just like how they owned me by dying unvaccinated.

Transexuality is strange and foreign to me.

Also XCHWM. Like most other things, it gets less strange and foreign the more exposure you have to it. My biggest old man Gen X hurdle so far regarding gender was remembering to use "they" when referring to a non-binary person. It felt weird for a while, but they more I did it, the easier it got.

I just heard about that for the first time a few days ago, and I couldn't believe it was real. As horrible as I think the United States of Ferenginar is, they always manage to surprise me and be worse.

The Ferengi are also perfectly happy to break any and all of the rules if it means more profit - that's probably one of the rules.

Does being honest about being dishonest count? Probably.

I think they're "War is profitable" and "Peace is profitable". Which I guess isn't really contradictory. They're profitable in different ways.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You're right. Still the same thing, good for business in different ways.

Palestinian released from Israeli prison describes beatings, sexual abuse and torture ( www.haaretz.com )

Among candidates for U.S. sanctions, Israel's Prison Service should be next on the list. This is apparently the realm where all the sadistic instincts of the minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, find their outlet....

I don't know what you consider a reputable source, but here's an article about it.

Why would you back up into a driveway to turn around? Going in forward seems easier.
